The Terms of Service (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/terms.html) prohibit downloading or mirroring the API. The API is not available for offline use. If you want to use it, you must include it as a link in a script tag. Also, it is not open-source, so while your open-source code can reference the API and access its functions, you cannot copy or modify the source code.
I don't *think* there is anything prohibiting you from using it in any specific environments, so long as they are accessing the API online.
